Spring.

I biked to work yesterday and brought the kids to swimming on the big bike today… it's cold but the streets are clear enough. Part of the street-clearing by the city involved dumping huge chunks of ice on our front lawn and smashing a garden box. It was on the easement and hidden under a snowbank but it seemed gratuitous. Oscar was pretty full of rage last night when he found out.

I'm trying to streamline and delegate stuff at work… delegation is its own sort of work but I think I'm getting some of it done. Union concerns are ramping up with a perfect storm of performance talk season, new initiatives from management and bargaining.

Honestly I'm feeling a little overwhelmed today: beer bottling kind of took over the kitchen last night and a whole bunch of furniture is shuffled around for a house concert today. Our kitchen tap is acting a little flaky and there is a buck of work and life stress swirling around me. I hope things settle down soon. Maybe biking season will be good for my state of mind.

Yes, the city certainly did a number on your lawn and driveway! Sorry to hear about all the stress - if it's any consolation, we definitely enjoyed today's house concert and you had a great turnout, so maybe in the end all the furniture-shuffling was worthwhile! Will we get to sample the results of your beer-bottling activities whenever it's ready?

It needs to age a bit after bottling but it should be awesome by Ada's birthday!

The concert and very late brunch were lots of fun but I was just out of cope this weekend, I guess… today is another day.
